| Episode Narrative |
Unseasonably high moisture content through the atmospheric column, an upper level jet max and a weak mid-level shortwave trough combined resulting in heavy rainfall across much of the area. |
| Event Narrative |
The sheriff's office reported that they were barricading low water crossing near Otis due to 1 to 2 feet of flowing water through some intersections. Sandbags were also used to prevent flooding near homes. No damage was reported, however. |
